Whether your child is born prematurely, suffers from a medical condition, or has a birth defect, the experts at St. Louis Children's Hospital's Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are ready to provide the very best possible care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The unit is staffed by specially trained physicians and nurses and also includes pediatric residents and neonatal fellows (physicians who are specializing in treating children and treating sick newborns). In addition, nationally known surgical and medical specialists, including heart specialists, brain specialists, spinal cord specialists, kidney specialists and many others are available to consult on any problem that arises for your baby.

As prenatal care is becoming more important in determining risks before, during, and after pregnancies, we offer a downloadable Prenatal Family History Worksheet.

St. Louis Children's Hospital is affiliated with Washington University School of Medicine.
